Misjudging a corner from Luna, Roy deflected the ball into his own net, gifting Kerala Blasters FC the lead. The own goal sent the gallery into a frenzy. In the 74th minute, Noah’s shot was blocked by Bhaskar Roy.

In the 80th minute, Noah struck. A well-executed free-kick by Korou Singh found Noah, who jumped and easily headed the ball into the net, sparking wild celebrations. Blasters' chants filled the air. Ten minutes later, they scored again. Captain Adrian Luna passed the ball to Alexandre Coeff, who slotted it into the net, resulting in the Blasters' third goal. Mohammedan's attacks were thwarted by the Blasters’ defence. Blasters made three changes from their last game for this match.
